Faith Formation @ SRB Campus

Faith Formation is a process in which seeks to support parents in their efforts to raise their families in our Catholic faith, thus continuing the mission of “making disciples”. Through this process families are invited to discover and grow in relationship with Jesus Christ, each other and the parish family; so as to live more fully our Catholic Christian faith. As disciples we are called to make Christ present in the world through the Body of Christ, the Church.

FAITH FORMATION with CHILDREN:

Catechist lead grade/level (classroom setting). Gathers twice a month on Saturdays mornings. After each gathering parents receive an assignment to incorporate into their family’s routine that continues the lesson at home. Children share their family’s response to these assignments at their next faith formation gathering with their catechist and fellow disciples. Parents commit to one support role for the faith formation season.

PREPARATION for SACRAMENTS HAPPENS WITHIN FAITH FORMATION

Faith formation is a lifelong process of learning to embody what we profess to believe by continuously growing in relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other. This continuous growing in relationships is enhanced and deepened through the reception of the Sacraments.

As families progress in their faith journey (at least one full year of formation) and demonstrate readiness, they will be enrolled in the appropriate preparation process for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist. This applies to both faith formation options listed above.

Children prepare for and receive the sacraments as part of their faith formation journey, not separate from it. Faith formation is continuous, both before and after, the reception of sacraments.
